Participants

Reaction Steps

As in Example 1(b), 5 ml of a dimethylformamide solution containing 1.70 g of trans-6-(2,4-dichlorobenzyloxy)-2-tosyloxymethyltetrahydropyran were added to 15 ml of a dimethylformamide solution containing 5.73 mmoles of the sodium salt of imidazole and the mixture was allowed to react for 2 hours at 85° C., after which it was treated and purified as in Example 1(b), to give 1.2 g of the title compound as a colourless oil.
